MySpace Comedy: Where the Comedians Are

MySpace recently launched MySpace comedy, a section made especially for comedians to promote themselves and their comedy. Following in the footsteps of MySpace Music and MySpace Film, this new section is sure to introduce many new fans to up-and-coming performers. MySpace claims to have registered 7500 comedians already.

So why should comedians bother to set up a profile on MySpace? Well considering the fact that MySpace now has over 97 million users, it's evident that MySpace is the place to be. A MySpace comedy profile allows comedians to post updates, tour dates, interact with fans and of course, post video and audio clips of their acts.

Through MySpace, comedians have been able to reach thousands, even millions of fans. Dane Cook is one of the best examples of a comedian who used online social networking sites, such as MySpace, to promote himself and his comedy, and look at where he is now! He's one of today's hottest comedians and his latest CD release has already broken comedy records.
